🎂⛵️Oceana's Ranger turns 40 today!

Built in 1986, she has had many lives at sea, and for the past 21 years, she has been at the centre of ours.

Help her keep going. Donate today for our ocean, our marine life, and our planet.

We are celebrating #WorldOceansDay in the most special way🌊⚓️

Today, our research catamaran, The Ranger, has set sail on a new expedition to preserve and restore marine habitats.

Stay tuned!

One more reason to curb #SingleUsePlastics: The pellets spilled by the Toconao are raw material for making plastic, and they have already reached marine protected areas. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PPWR

La mayoría de la granza vertida por el Toconao está en alta mar. El modelo desarrollado por Oceana muestra que los pélets ya llegaron a áreas marinas protegidas.

Where have the plastic pellets gone? The Toconao spill may have disappeared from the front pages, but not from the open sea.
Oceana's computing model shows how the nurdles spread... plastic never goes away!

📽️ WATCH: Uncover the truth behind the forces devastating our ocean. Can we turn the tide on #TheTrawl? 🌊💥

Highly destructive bottom trawling is STILL allowed in many of our marine ‘protected’ areas 🚨

@DefraGovUK when will you properly protect our ocean?!

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

BREAKING‼️ Spain sanctions 25 fishing vessels for disabling their mandatory location trackers, following an @oceana investigation. These devices are mandatory in the EU to promote transparency in fishing activity and ensure safety at sea. Read more 🔗

BREAKING: In Spain, three out of four bottom trawlers fished in marine protected areas in 2022.

Why are they called marine protected areas if destructive fishing is allowed inside? citizens wonder. We demand the Spanish Gov to take action!

Oceana in Europe is 20 years old! 🎉 🎉 🎉
Our campaigns continue to deliver real changes for the ocean, and we want to send a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for making it possible!

Something is approaching...! ⛵ Can you see what it is? In the coming days, we will have some exciting news to share. So stay tuned to see what it is!

La prohibición de la pesca de arrastre en áreas marinas protegidas debería ser un tema central de esta campaña electoral en España. Nos jugamos mucho.

Los ciudadanos lo tienen claro: el futuro Gobierno tiene que proteger el mar y actuar en favor de los ecosistemas marinos. #23J

Oceana desarrolla un modelo de pronóstico los recorridos y zonas de acumulación de basuras marinas https://t.co/GSZq3V85Mo

@mjlucas_eth @OceanaEurope Sorry! Is already fixed

[Natividad Sánchez @Ocean_Nati]

Un 95% del plástico está en el fondo del mar y pasa desapercibido... hasta ahora.
Oceana ha lanzado un modelo de alta resolución con apoyo de las universidades de Newcastle y Cádiz y datos de la Agencia Espacial Europea para prever recorridos y acumulación

NEWS: Our new, unique model forecasts the pathways of floating & non-floating plastic, giving unparalleled insight into the underwater pollution crisis. We urge countries to take immediate national reduction measures & push for an ambitious #PlasticsTreaty

We💙working for ocean conservation - and going on our at-sea expeditions! On our last expedition to the Alboran sea, we documented unmanaged #Natura2000 #MPAs off 🇪🇸. This data helps us show the impacts of bottom trawling and the need for proper management. ⛵️ #BanBottomTrawling

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

2022 is almost over and we're closing the year by highlighting one of the things that we do best 🌊

In June, we set sail to the Alboran Sea, in Spain, to carry out an at-sea expedition to document marine plastic pollution. Wonder what it looked like? #PlasticFreeSeas

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

🚨 @EU_Commission has just released its proposal for the Packaging & Packaging Waste Reg. It could be key to tackling ocean plastic pollution at the source in EU waters but has limitations. Now, we rely on @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil to raise its ambition. https://t.co/oZzctjToT0

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

Bioplastics and compostable #plastics are #greenwashing and fake solutions to the issue of plastic pollution reaching the ocean. Why?

🙅‍♀️ Not all bioplastics degrade at sea
♻️ The marine environment is not fit for composting

📢 Creating the 1st exclusively marine national park around El Hierro island will undeniably benefit nature and locals 🐳

In our video, we’re asking 🇪🇸 to protect this wonderful submerged world for present and future generations.
